This paper studies the buckling of standing columns under self-weight and tip load. An emphasis is placed on linearly tapered with regular polygons cross-section whose volume constant. Five end conditions for are considered. The differential equation governing shapes column derived based equilibrium equations buckled elements. numerically integrated using direct integration method, eigenvalue o...

The non-destructive Meyer method was evaluated to determine the bark volume of beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) stands in north of Iran. The sample size was 185 standing trees collected from 4 geographical aspects (north, south, west and east) aspects. The constant k values and bark thickness (2e mm) of 185 standing trees were used to calculate the bark volume by the Meyer method. In this study,...

three activated carbons are synthesized in a rotary reactor at different activation times. the adsorption isotherms of the samples are measured the pore size distribution of the samples is determined using combined saito and foley method, bjh method. an average potential function has been determined inside the cylindrical pores. the effect of activation time on the pore size distribution sample...

fluids for various industrial applications because of their excellent thermal performance. This study analytically and experimentally examines the effects of nanoparticle dispersion on the entropy generation of EG–Al2O3 ...

Quantitative microscopical measurements have been made of the proportion of cell volume occupied by cytoplasm in a cell suspension culture derived from cotyledons of bush bean (cv. Contender). On a 7-day culture cycle, the content of cytoplasm varies from 25% at the time of transfer to 45% at the start of the phase of rapid cell division. If the culture is continued beyond 7 days, the vacuole v...

Early Xenopus laevis embryogenesis is a robust system for investigating mechanisms of developmental timing. After a series of rapid cell divisions with concomitant reductions in cell size, the first major developmental transition is the midblastula transition (MBT), when zygotic transcription begins and cell cycles elongate. Whereas the maintenance of a constant nuclear-to-cytoplasmic (N/C) vol...

The size and metabolic rate of cells affect processes from the molecular to the organismal level. We present a quantitative, theoretical framework for studying relationships among cell volume, cellular metabolic rate, body size, and whole-organism metabolic rate that helps reveal the feedback between these levels of organization. We use this framework to show that average cell volume and averag...
